Say goodbye to human spaceflight for an entire generation. We made a huge mistake hitching everything onto this fucker’s stuff.

I’ve been waiting for us to leave LEO since I was a kid in the 80s and it now looks like I might be dying without ever having witnessed even a moon landing. I envy my parents.

Unless China or India or Russia pull something off. They’re all we have after this.

loose 90% of the games you play as well

It’s 2025, not 2007. This is a huge exaggeration. Maybe try it again sometime.

The article is about Altair BASIC. That one was actually homegrown.

Who asked for this? Did y’all ask for this? I don’t remember asking for this.

Looks around room in confusion

Tastes comment

Jokes never translate well. Even between somewhat-related languages, like western European ones. Best to just not.

Actually, my distaste for Big Tech is nothing new. It’s been building for decades.

First, little stuff like the inkjet printer that you invited into your house that claims to need, “Just a little more cyan, bro. I’ll print your black and white page after I get my cyan. Come on, bro.”

That’s because it needs to print the tracking dots on every page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_tracking_dots

It’s because you didn’t spend a significant portion of your life learning how to create things from, for lack of a better term, your soul, and then had a machine suddenly rip it all away from you. There are good things and bad things about gen-AI.

Who has time these days to read stuff and research it before spamming that “buy” button? 😉

How do you keep birds from landing on it and shitting up the lens and blocking the laser?

It’s the law of outdoor infrastructure. If it’s outside, and it’s high up, it will get shat upon.

But video is so damn annoying. If you wanna copy-paste something from the video, you’re fucked unless you pause and type each character by hand. I don’t get it.

But then again I’m not a zoomer.

Cursor AI’s abrupt refusal represents an ironic twist in the rise of “vibe coding”—a term coined by Andrej Karpathy that describes when developers use AI tools to generate code based on natural language descriptions without fully understanding how it works.

Yeah, I’m gonna have to agree with the AI here. Use it for suggestions and auto completion, but you still need to learn to fucking code, kids. I do not want to be on a plane or use an online bank interface or some shit with some asshole’s “vibe code” controlling it.

At 14, me and most of my peers could navigate a file system on DOS, format floppies, install games from setup disks, and edit autoexec.bat files.

Yes, there is a huge difference between the teens of today and the teens of 25 years ago. Technological illiteracy is real thanks to the iPhone era and UIs becoming stupid simple to use.

The “iPad kids” meme didn’t originate from thin air.

Must be your instance. I can see it fine from kbin.melroy.org, which also uses the mbin software.

May my first website be forever under construction.

Too often, the vertical location (Z-axis) information that 911 call centers receive is not easily usable

So…use the barometer in tandem with GPS? This is shit I can easily track from my personal Homassistant server.

Also, you know how to make GPS more reliable, secure, and redundant? You launch more GPS satellites.

without much depth

How much “depth” do you expect to get out a group of animals acting “mostly” natural and without a single line of human dialog? With those limitations, I think it excelled. There were even a couple tearjerker moments, for me at least.
